Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl (Pearl and Richard) novel Chapter 805

Pearl acted quickly, even faster than her words. In an instant, she grabbed the important documents nearby and held them close to her chest. Then, she hurriedly dashed into Richard's car.

Her speed surprised Richard.

"Don't forget to pitch in for the cleaning later. The rain from your clothes got inside my car." Richard calmly and shamelessly asked her for money.

Pearl pursed her lips. "It's just a little rain. You don't have to charge me for that."

Her improved opinion of him disappeared instantly. Richard was still the ruthless businessman who tried to haggle over everything.

"It's better to keep things fair."

For some reason, Pearl sensed a hidden message in his words. Moreover, he stared at her as if he wanted to settle something.

Since something seemed off, Pearl quickly changed the subject. "By the way, what brought you here?"

Richard started the car and turned it around. "I had some business to attend to."

It was still a little awkward.

Pearl continued teasing him, "Why do you always appear out of nowhere whenever I encounter trouble? If I didn't know better, I'd think you were secretly protecting me."

As soon as she said that, she regretted it. What nonsense!

As expected, Richard remained silent because of her words.

Pearl cursed herself, thinking she should have kept her mouth shut. The more she talked, the more awkward it became.

After a while, Richard said calmly, "Maybe."
